It's February only, and Brody has won the Best Actor award at three main events so far. Before BAFTA, he took home Golden Globes trophy and Critics Choice Award. Now, all eyes are on the Oscars.
As per Variety, "The Brutalist" follows 30 years in the life of Laszlo Toth (Adrien Brody), a "Hungarian-born Jewish architect who survived the Holocaust," according to its synopsis. "After the end of World War II, he emigrated to the United States with his wife, Erzsebet (Felicity Jones), to experience the American dream. Laszlo initially endures poverty and indignity, but he soon lands a contract with a mysterious and wealthy client, Harrison Lee Van Buren (Guy Pearce), that will change the course of his life."
Brody portrayed the character of Lazslo Toth in the film alongside Joe Alwyn and Felicity Jones.
In India, BAFTA Awards were streamed on Lionsgate Play.
